Move encode_to_hash_engine to hashes from consensus_encoding

The encode_to_hash_engine function created a dependency on hashes from
consensus_encoding. Since consensus_encoding is moving to 1.0, it is
best to remove the dependency on the pre-1.0 hashes crate.

This patch moves the encode_to_hash_engine function to the hashes
crate, and reverses the dependency so that hashes now depends on
consensus_encoding instead of vice-versa.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine internal code reorganization. A helper function that feeds encoded data into a hash calculation was moved from one Rust crate to another, and the dependency direction between those two crates was reversed. The actual logic of the function did not change, and there is no indication this fixes or introduces a security bug.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring; verify downstream consumers update their imports if they used the old re-export.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
